Da beef’en mellem Pusha-T og Drake gik ned – og blev abrupt afsluttet – tilbage i juni, blandede Kanye sig og prædikede om kærlighed. Alligevel lod det ikke til, Drake troede på, at ’Ye ikke havde haft en finger med i sin medsammensvornes diss-spil, hvorfor Drake i sidste måned smed et par live-svinere i Kanyes retning, og nu i selskab med French Montana er på vej med tracket ’No Stylist’, der også sender et skud i Kanyes retning med linjen: »I told her don’t wear no 350s ’round me« – en reference til Kanyes Yeezy-sneaks.
Men bedst som en potentiel beef mellem Drake og Kanye for alvor var ved at lette, har Kanye nu endnu engang delt en vaskeægte kærlighedsprædiken og uforbeholden undskyldning til Drake via Twitter.
Han undskylder først og fremmest for at have stjålet noget af Drakes spotlys, idet Kanye som bekendt satte sig så massivt på juni måned med fem udgivelser i flæng lige op til udgivelsen af Drakes ’Scorpion’. Kanye indrømmer, han var lige lovligt begejstret, da han med godt 25 tweets om dagen også satte sine egne releasedatoer i verden.
Kanye skriver endvidere, at han ikke har været involveret i Pusha-T’s ’Infrared’-angreb mod Drake – og at han overhovedet ikke har hørt nogen af diss-numrene efterfølgende. Kanye understreger, han ikke har talt med Pusha om Drakes barn, og at han burde have talt med ham om Quentin Miller-linjen (dvs. at Drake har brugt Quentin Miller som ghostwirter, hvilket indikeres på ’Infrared’).
I allerbedste Kanye på Twitter-stil afsluttes hele smøren med »Jeg elsker dig og jeg elsker Pusha, og vi beundrer alle sammen hinandens håndværk. Dette er alt sammen Jedi-level. Jeg kommer til dit show inden for de næste syv dage for at give dig kærlighed og at blive inspireret af den kunst, du har frembragt«.

Sending good energy and love to Drake and family and crew

Let me start by apologizing for stepping on your release date in the first place … We were building a bond and working on music together including squashing the issues with Cudi at our office.

When I put the dates up I was a bit ramped up doing 25 tweets a day TMZ happened shortly after … I have to hop on the plane now… will type more when I land

plane taxiing for take off… because we spoke about doing Lift Yourself together I should have given you the opportunity for us to do this together before I released it

since we were building as friends and brothers I should have spoken to Pusha about the Quentin Miller bar. There should have been no songs with my involvement that had any negative energy towards you

I never listened to either diss track that followed but I did hear quotes from both songs after they were released

I did not have any conversations about your child with Pusha. I don’t play with the idea of people’s children after I spoke to Wiz a few years earlier.

I understand Pusha’s issues as a man if someone mentions your fiancé men go mask off. I’ve done the same myself at times. I love you and I love Pusha and we all have an admiration for each other’s craft.

This is all Jedi level. I will be coming to your show within the next seven days to give love and be inspired by the art you have created.
